Establish a Geological Bureau.


Capitalists who visit Georgia with
view TO investing their money in mineral
lands complain that they are unable TO
obtain the information they want with
out much travel, delay and expense.
They frequently inquire why the State
has no geological bureau at some central
point under reliable management, where
information of the States mineral re-
sources may be obtained cheaply and
speedily.
Atlanta, perhaps, is the only city In
the state in which there is anything Ike
organized effort to furnish information
concerning the mineral lands. The Manu-
facturers' Association, of that city, is
accomplishing something in this direc-
ton, but, as the associations expenses
are borne by only few individuals, the
information furnished is not extended,
nor is it always reliable. The Depart
ment OF Agriculture, Under the manage
ment OF Commissioner j. T. Henderson,
does what Il can TO make known the eX-
tent and value Of the mineral lands, but
the agricultural interest demands most
OF the time OF the department, and,
therefore, what is accomplished for the
minera. interest Is necessarily
very unsatisfactory. In the capitol there
Is q large collection Of mineral specl-
mems, but il lies in almost hopeless con-
fusion in an uHfrsquenJed room, and is
covered with nearly AL inch Of dust. 1t
is, therefore, practically useless. Outside

rants. He declares mat il the surveys
begun or the old geological bureau were
completed, aud maps OF the mineral re-
Sions, together with fun Information as to
ease II sccess, fuel, water and other
Items, were placed where all interested
persons cou,dreach them without trouble,
a very great impetus would be given both
10 mining and manufacturing.
In this connection it may be stated that
some OF the owners of mineral lands are
considering the adyisability of petition
ing the General Assembly to establish
a geological bureau. 1t is to De hoped
that it will do so. Georgia should spare
no means to keep abreast of the develop
ment which is going on in other South
ern States.

Weed Out the Worthless.

I The Senate committee, OF which Sena.
! tor Cockrell is chairman, which is au
/ thorized to inquire into the causes of the
backwardness of great deal OF the pub
/ lie business in the departments of the
| government will, in all probability. dis
cover many abuses OF which the public is
unaware, If 1t conducts its inquiries
with zeal and a sincere desire to get al
the truth. If il carries ON the investi.
CATION with its eyes closed, however, ii
will simply waste its Time and involve
the government in useless expense.
There is good reason to think that there
are great many more employees in the
service Of the government than are
needed. Some of the clerks no doubt
earn all they receive, but there are hun
dreds, and, perhaps, thousands who do
little or nothing. 1t has been asserted
that when the Republicans were In power
there were men and women in the de-
partments who didn't do a hundred dol
lars worth OF work IN year, and yet they
were in the receipt of very handsome sala-
ries. Doubtless there are many of this
sort still on the pay rolls.
1t is probable that an energetic busl.
ness man could take hold of any one of
the departments, and, il permitted TO EN-.
ploy his own assistants, transact all Of
Its business much more promptly anc
satisfactorily than it is done at present
Tor half the amount it costs the govern
ment. There is an impression that clerks
conspire to delay work for fear that il the
public business is dispatched quickly
some of them will be discharged because
there VIII be no need for their services.
The committee will try 10 find out what
amount of work the clerks do and
whether they couldn't do a great deal
more without being overworked. There
is another thing which Will be looked
into. 1t is whether there are employees
who have comfortable incomes outside OF
their salaries, and whether there are
not men and women in the departments
who sustain the relation of man and
wife to each other. While it is NOS
the purpose to make the departments
refuge for the dependent and impecuul-
Gus, it Is also not the purpose TO permit
the places to be filled by thoss who
have ample incomes outside Of
what they earn. There are too many in
dustrious and competent men and women
who have to earn their bread, and woo
are In need OF places, TO permit
the departments to become filled with
people of the two classes above mentioned,
Senator COckrell is something OF a re-
fOrpnar nd haipo
good deal of "dead wood" may be pruned
out THE different branches of the gov
eminent by him and his committee.

Californian's Quiet Little Converse
tion in the Morton House,

From the Neto York Ersnin0 Sun.
Consp lcuous among the groups of well
dressed men who congregated at the Morton
House last night was the tall and sturdy figure
OF well-known Californian. He was sur
rounded by four or five friends, into whose
sympathetic ears he poured his imprecatlons
against the cold and cherries weather, con-
trusting it with the warm and genial sunlight
which bathed the Golden State at this season
OF the year.

what l am driving at Santa Barbara. you
Know, is a handsome town on the coast, lam
GUS for its hotel, magnificent roses, ana
splendid bathing. On one side spreads the
broad Pacific, and on the Others tower high
anu rugged mountains. Well, an old man
once lived in the town who is said to have
hrst settled there when the big mountains
were little hills. 1t was a regular habit with
him to go down and sit on the wharf when
ever steamer was coming in, While seated
In MS favorlte place one day ne was ap-
preached by tourist who mad just stepped
OF the steamer, and who was looking about to
learn something of the country. Stepping up
TO the old man, he asked:
"'How do you manage to raise such ex-
quisite roses here?'
"'Climate.' was the response.
IAN such large watermelons?
Climate came again monotonously.
And such flee crops of wheat and bar
ley?
"'Climate,' was echoed again. with
vicious snap.

before asking another question, but finally he
again ventured: i understand you are to

The old man merely bowed his assent.
"'But how will you get over that noun

mountain in the rear of the town.
"'Climb it, growed the old man, as he got
up and walked away"
A sombre silence fell over the group.
